Woeful-rines

The Cats pummelled the Woeful-rines, walking out of the Big House with an impressive 21-14 victory. Why was the victory impressive?

The Cats have suffered greatly from injuries. Arrington, Sutton, Conteh, etc. We started our third string running back against Michigan!

The weather was miserable, and the first half was a goof-fest of fumbles, blocked kicks, and muffed punts. But the Cats hung tough and went to the locker room down 14-7.

Not sure what Fitz told the team in the locker room, but the offense came out firing in the third quarter and Bacher threw two beautiful TD passes to put the Cats up 21-14.

And lastly, Michigan had the ball twice with good field position in the closing minutes, but the defense played tough and shut the Woeful-rines down to ensure the win.

Thus the Cats advance to 8-3 and ensure themselves of a good bowl pick....let the whining begin about the selection process and what's fair and which schools travel well.

Go Cats! Next week is the traditional season-ending game against arch-rival Illinois, in which we will fight for possession of the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk. A win will push the Cats to 9-3 and again improve our bowl position.
